Unique H2-utilizing lithotrophy in serpentinite-hosted systems
The ISME Journal, 2022 Abstract Serpentinization of ultramafic rocks provides molecular hydrogen (H2) that can support lithotrophic metabolism of microorganisms, but also poses extremely challenging conditions, including hyperalkalinity and limited electron acceptor availability. Investigation of two serpentinization-active systems reveals that conventional H2-

How microbes utilize host ubiquitination [PDF]
Cellular Microbiology, 2009 Activity, abundance and localization of eukaryotic proteins can be regulated through covalent attachment of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like moieties. Ubiquitination is important in various aspects of immunity. Pathogens utilize host ubiquitination for the suppression of immune signalling and reprogramming host processes to promote microbial life.

Climate change, phenology, and butterfly host plant utilization [PDF]
AMBIO, 2015 Knowledge of how species interactions are influenced by climate warming is paramount to understand current biodiversity changes. We review phenological changes of Swedish butterflies during the latest decades and explore potential climate effects on butterfly-host plant interactions using the Orange tip butterfly Anthocharis cardamines and its host ...
